Project: GPNA offices are located in the historical building Garfield Lodge which was donated in 1913 by Harriett Garfield. The lodge is located within Garfield Park which was donated by Charles Garfield. The lodge is used for neighborhood meetings, education on crime prevention, and our daily offices where we meet with residents to help solve their problems. The outside of the building has bare wood, there are leaky faucets, the space is not utilized well for our current needs, no improvements have been performed for many years. This assistance would improve the overall appearance and image of GPNA. The project will include, painting the outside of the building (there is currently bare wood in many places), replacing windows that loose heat, are cloudy, and do not operate properly. Remodeling the bathrooms (old and ugly). Replacing doors that do not stay opened or closed. Redoing the kitchen and office space for better use. Painting, redoing wood floors,
